Präzisionen

There is no plural of the German noun Präzision. --Yoursmile 15:46, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

I think there is. See google books:"Präzisionen". -- Prince Kassad 16:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Should be at RFV, but since it would pass, just keep it. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:28, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Hm, but look at German references (canoo.net, DWDS etc.). They state my opinion. Salute --Yoursmile 16:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

WT:CFI#Attestation doesn't care what other websites (or even paper dictionaries) say. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:34, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

These references are reliable. The University of Leipzig say, that there is no plural, too (Wortschatz-Lexikon). Same as Duden etc.pp. The results of Google Books look like new creations (don't know whats the german noun "Wortschöpfung" in English is). I only know the methods of the German Wiktionary. We would delete "words" like Präzisionen, Achtungen and so on. Salute --Yoursmile 16:47, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

2,000+ appearances in books = "new invention"? Hardly. -- Prince Kassad 17:25, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

We are not other dictionaries. We do not try to 'become' other dictionaries. Our criterion for inclusion is usage, not appearance in other dictionaries. Reading Appendix:English dictionary-only terms might enlighten you a bit as too why we do that. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:20, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, whatever... But i guess the meaning of the booksearch results is "Präzisierungen" (specifications (?)). So there is a difference between "Präzisionen" and "Präzisierungen". So long --Yoursmile 12:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Kept of course. --Mglovesfun (talk) 20:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
